Botanical namePrunus domestica Brookred

Prunus domestica ‘Brookred’, more commonly known as the ‘Brookred’ plum tree, is a deciduous fruit tree particularly prized for its excellent quality red fruit with yellow flesh, as well as for its compact rounded habit, ideal for residential orchards in Quebec. In early spring, it is covered in abundant white blossoms, which attract pollinating insects, offering significant ornamental interest well before summer fruiting. Hardy and vigorous, ‘Brookred’ adapts well to well-drained and slightly clayey soils, with a preference for full sun exposure. Its production is generous, and although it is self-sterile, it becomes very productive when paired with another compatible plum tree. Both aesthetic, nourishing, and low-maintenance, this plum tree is a safe bet for edible gardens.
